INFORMATION ON EMERGENCIES
We make every effort to ensure the school is open, but on some occasions circumstances arise which lead to disruption. Schools may be affected by, for example, severe weather, temporary interruption of transport, power failures or difficulties of fuel supply, in such cases we shall do all we can to let you know if this happens. We shall keep you in touch by using letters, notices in local shops and community centres, announcements in local churches and announcements in the press and on local radio and through the Council’s website (www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk)
Please ensure that you notify the school of any changes to your mobile/home telephone number.
If you are unsure if the school is open please contact the school or Education Resources, Communications & Information Section, Almada Street, Hamilton. (Tel 01698 454545)
MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE
Medical and dental checks are carried out at various stages throughout the primary school by agreement between South Lanarkshire Council and Greater Glasgow Health Board. These include a full medical examination in P1 (parent present). Audiometric hearing test P1, Dental nurse checks P1, P3 and P6, and health hygiene advice from the school nurse P6 - P7. Parents wishing to contact the school nurse can do so through the school.
Parents are always informed by letter in advance of medical inspections and can be present if they wish.
If your child take ill at school every effort will be made to make your child comfortable and to contact you, or, if you cannot be contacted, your chosen emergency contact. It is important that parents keep the school informed of any special medical requirements as they develop so we can offer the appropriate care.
